Hey all!

@Sally Sunshine

I have a broody due on the 4th and we are planning another hatch hopefully in April may I join?

We are already collecting eggs for it so we have to do it.

lol

YAYAYYAYAYA of course you can come over!!!! We love you!!! Welcome!!

I've got 45 (give or take one) eggs in a LG. It's all colorful eggs-either Marans eggs (pure, because our rooster is marans) or Easter egger barnyard mix, so it is all blues and chocolate browns. Set yesterday but my temperatures are giving me trouble-any suggestions appreciated!

i didn't realize how hard serama eggs can be to hatch. i had them shipped to me. i hope we get at least a few. we have 18 eggs.

they are hard because people run too low and they tend to really loose weight at the end of incubation and it cant be gained back at the end, as I said earlier

Serama have been one of our Breeding Flocks for years now, we have hatched and shipped very many.

smaller eggs tend too loose weight faster than reg eggs, and darker eggs that have coloring deposited on them need much less humidity, reg fowl eggs I run 30-35 first seven days and 55 for smaller serama and small bantams, silkies I did 40% and checked and adjusted from day 7.
